When Is GTA 6 Coming Out? Release Date and Platforms

GTA 6 comes out on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. That is the current official release date published by Rockstar Games. A PC release date has not been announced.

This guide answers the closely related questions “when is GTA 6 coming out?”, “when does GTA 6 come out?” and “when will GTA 6 come out?” in one place, with a clear separation between confirmed information and speculation.

GTA 6 release date: the quick answer

• Release date: November 19, 2026
• Launch platforms: PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S
• PC: no official release date announced
• PS4 and Xbox One: not listed as supported platforms
• Preload: Rockstar says digital preloading begins November 12, 2026

The date appears on Rockstar's official GTA VI website and in the publisher's current support documentation. If Rockstar changes the schedule, this page will be updated from the primary source.

What time will GTA 6 unlock?

Rockstar has confirmed the date but has not published one universal global unlock-time table for every country and storefront. Digital store countdowns may reflect local timing, account region and platform rules. The safest approach is to check the product page on your own console shortly before launch rather than relying on an unofficial social-media countdown.

Rockstar says preloading begins on November 12, one week before release. Preloading lets buyers download encrypted game files in advance; it does not provide early access.

Which consoles will get GTA 6?

Grand Theft Auto VI is officially announced for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Rockstar does not list PS4 or Xbox One, so owners of those older consoles will need supported current-generation hardware to play at launch.

Players choosing between the supported systems can read our GTA 6 console and TV guide. It separates confirmed platform features from unverified resolution and frame-rate claims.

When will GTA 6 come out on PC?

There is no confirmed GTA 6 PC release date. Rockstar's current launch announcement names only PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. A later PC version is widely expected by players because previous Rockstar titles reached PC after their console debuts, but past release patterns are not an announcement.

Until Rockstar adds PC to an official product page or Newswire post, any precise PC date should be treated as speculation.

Is the physical edition on a disc?

Rockstar says the physical box contains a download code and no game disc. Buyers planning to purchase a boxed copy will therefore still need a reliable internet connection and sufficient free storage. Rockstar has not yet provided a final installation-size figure, so estimates circulating online should not be treated as specifications.

How long has it been since GTA 5?

GTA V first launched on September 17, 2013. GTA VI's scheduled release therefore comes more than 13 years after the original GTA V console debut. Our complete GTA 5 release timeline covers each major console and PC edition.

What is official—and what is not?

The November 19 date, the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S launch platforms, and the November 12 preload date come from Rockstar. A PC date, final download size, complete graphics-mode list and universal launch time have not been officially detailed. Keeping those categories separate prevents rumors from being repeated as launch information.
